A Race for life


I thought I should share a funny incident with you. Now! so the police don't arrest me I must change the names of the roads so they do not coming looking to capture me and put me in Jail.
The night before my double mastectomy I was in a bit of a nervous frenzy, well almost like I had nothing to loose. I started up a big major road (wink wink) name to be excluded, it was 9pm.
I was in my car, I think I should keep that a secret as well if you get my drift. Then a yellow Commodore seemed to be playing tag with me in the fact that I go fast he would go faster,  I slow down he slowed down.
Then I though by the time I was on the freeway (secret) maybe he wanted a race. Then I thought, bring it on I have nothing to loose. We raced for about half an hour at 180 km neither of us would go faster than that. He was using his breaks for bends, me I had nothing to loose and I had no fear at all.
Well it's naughty to speed, I know I did the wrong thing. But as I slammed my foot on the break to go home and wave him off at my exit. I began to laugh, it was one of those moments! " I can win this" as I had just shown the stranger in my car. Just drive fast through it. It inspired me in my Cancer battle to put my foot down and give it all I had..Thank you Mr Stranger

Kate Jackson Breast Cancer a flash back

THE MOST MOMENTOUS CHANGE IN Kate Jackson's life began early one morning in January 1987, during her fourth season on the hit TV series Scarecrow and Mrs. King. After a phone call informed her that the show's taping was canceled because costar Bruce Boxleitner had the flu, Jackson went back to sleep. When she woke several hours later, "It was out of the blue, but perfectly clear," she recalls. "I sat up in bed and literally said, 'You have to have a mammogram.' " She did, and two days later a biopsy confirmed her vague fears: A minute growth found in her left breast was determined to be malignant. "I was forced to face, squared up, my own mortality," says Jackson. "I had to decide whether I wanted to live or to die. And if you choose life, as I did, it's never the same." For three TV seasons 16 years ago, she was famous as Sabrina Duncan, a girl-next-door gone glamorous and the character critics dubbed the brainiest o

"Hard nipples" - areola or nipple skin

Someone once wrote"... when i get really cold, or get goosebumbs all over my body, the whole things really scrunch up, like, my entire areola scrunches itself up into a wrinkled little mound. it looks really weird and ugly, and i haven't ever seen other people's breasts do it. what is wrong with my areola/nipples??" The answer: Well nothing is wrong. This is what my areola does too. It's a normal reaction to the coldness or to irritation / stimulation. The little muscles in the areola do a similar goosebump thing as your other skin can do. People often call this phenomenon "hard nipples". Also note that skin on areola has less feeling or sensation to it than other areas of your body. If the areola was very sensitive, then breastfeeding would probably be quite uncomfortable because the baby pulls and tugs it! The nipples are sensitive but the sensitivity changes with hormonal changes, such as occur at mestrual cycle or pregnancy. Also this v

Stage 4 shows fully mature breasts. (Illustration by GGS Information Services.) period begins. Usually these signs are accompanied by the appearance of pubic hair and hair under the arms. Once ovulation and  menstruation  begin, the maturing of the breasts begins with the formation of secretory glands at the end of the milk ducts. The breasts and duct system continue to grow and mature with the development of many glands and lobules. The rate at which breasts grow varies significantly and is different for each young woman. Breast development occurs in five stages: Stage One: In preadolescence, the breasts are flat and only the tip of the nipple is raised. Stage Two: Buds appear, breast and nipple are raised, fat tissue begins to form and the areola (dark area of skin that surrounds
